Re: [triquetrum-dev] Scheduling a Release for Triquetrum

[Christopher Brooks <cxh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Stephanie,

Your timing is impeccable!  The Science Working group has a combined release scheduled, see https://wiki.eclipse.org/Science_WG/2016_Release

It might be worth widening the discussion thread to the Science Working Group list at https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/science-iwg, but let's focus on Triquetrum issues in the near term.

As part of that release, we will attempt to release a version of Triquetrum.  Our current intended release date is October 21.  We hope to do a code freeze next Tuesday.

We have a Github issue for the release at https://github.com/eclipse/triquetrum/issues/71 

I have a milestone set at https://github.com/eclipse/triquetrum/milestone/4

Some of the issues will be removed from the release milestone, but others are required.

A couple of questions:

1) What version number should Triquetrum use?  We are in incubation, I was thinking 0.1.0 would be a good version number.  I'm not sure if the Milestone notation would apply.  Would this be 0.1.0M1?  I can look into this a bit more, but thought you might have a quick answer.  I've reviewed https://wiki.eclipse.org/Version_Numbering and the answer is not obvious to me.

2) Our code freeze is on Tuesday 9/13 in part because I'm traveling the remaining part of the week and Erwin is busy the following week. If we submit a release questionnaire on 9/13 or 9/14, is that sufficient time for the October 21 release date?  It seems like two weeks is sufficient, but I just wanted to double check.  I'm aware of https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#release-review, which says that the release review process takes a week and that the release reviews take place on the first and third Wednesdays.  My intention was to create a release on Tuesday 9/13 via the "Create a Release" under the committer tools.

3) We use a number of third party packages that have passed CQ.  See https://github.com/eclipse/triquetrum/issues/70.  Right now I have a p2 site set up that is creating jar files from the head of the third party tree that was used to create the source jars uploaded for the CQs.  For example,  https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10439 has the jar file diva.source_11.0.0.201608300001.jar associated with it.

My question is: What should the version number of jar file that contains the .class files be?  Should it be diva.11.0.0.201608300001.jar?  Or should the qualifier be the date that the jar file was created?

Please forgive me if the answers to these questions are obvious.  I figure you would be able to quickly and definitively answer these.

Hello Christopher and Erwin,

My name is Stephanie, I am working alongside Wayne on ongoing projects.

After reviewing your project, Triquetrum, we can see you haven't done or scheduled a release as of yet.

I was just wondering if there is anything we could do to help you through this process. Do you have a release plan or a date in mind in which you'd like to schedule a release?

Please let me know if we can be of assistance,

Thank-you,

Stephanie
